• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bury St Edmunds easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
